I've been approved for CPP Disability benefits and the disability tax credit. They both have slightly different criteria, but the bottom line is that you have to be disabled (not just inconvenienced) to be approved.
I guess it's really hitting home that I'm actually disabled, and this could last for a long time.
Of course, I am planning on being one of the few that surgery is a complete success on :) but, I guess having a backup plan wouldn't hurt either...
for those keeping track, I am now in month 5 of waiting for surgery. I did the preliminary screening (x-ray, bloodwork, etc) at then end of January 2013. The surgeons slating office should have received the results by no later than Feb 14 2013. blech
hurry up office, I want to get on with my life!!!
